Tranche B Loans shall be made from time to time on any Business Day designated by the Borrowers in a Tranche B Borrowing Request but only to the extent such Tranche B Loan requested exceeds the Available Tranche A Commitment at such time. (b) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, during the Tranche B Commitment Period, the Borrowers may borrow, repay, and reborrow and convert Tranche B Loans of one type or with one Interest Period into Tranche B Loans of another type or with a different Interest Period. Except for prepayments made pursuant to Section 2.13, each borrowing, conversion, and prepayment of principal, in the case of Base Rate Loans, shall be in an amount at least equal to $100,000 and in multiples of $100,000 thereafter and, in the case of LIBO Rate Loans, shall be in an amount at least equal to $1,000,000 and in multiples of $100,000 thereafter. Each borrowing, prepayment, or conversion of or into a Tranche B Loan of a different type or, in the case of a LIBO Rate Tranche B Loan, having a different Interest Period, shall be deemed a separate borrowing, conversion, and prepayment for purposes of the foregoing, one for each type of Tranche B Loan or Interest Period. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the aggregate principal amount of LIBO Rate Tranche B Loans having the same Interest Period shall be at least equal to $1,000,000; and if any LIBO Rate Loan would otherwise be in a lesser principal amount for any period, such Tranche B Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan during such period. (c) Not later than noon, Eastern Standard or Daylight Savings Time, as the case may be, on the date specified for each borrowing of a Tranche B Loan, each Tranche B Lender shall make available to the Agent an amount equal to the Percentage Share of such Tranche B Lender of the borrowing to be made on such date, at an account designated by the Agent, for the account of the Borrower. The amount so received by the Agent shall, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, be made available to the Borrowers in immediately available funds by no later than 1:00 p.m. Eastern Standard or Daylight Savings Time, as the case may be, in an account designated from time to time by the Borrowers. All Tranche B Loans by each Tranche B Lender shall be maintained at the Applicable Lending Office of such Lender and shall be evidenced by the Tranche B Note of such Lender. (d) The failure of any Tranche B Lender to make any Tranche B Loan required to be made by it hereunder shall not relieve any other Tranche B Lender of its obligation to make any Tranche B Loan required to be made by it, and no Tranche B Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Tranche B Lender to make any Tranche B Loan. (e) The Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time, upon three (3) Business Days' prior and irrevocable written notice to the Agent, to terminate or reduce the Tranche B Commitments without premium or penalty, in whole or in part, any partial termination to be (i) in an amount not less than $1,000,000 as determined by the Borrowers and in integral multiples of $1,000,000, and (ii) allocated (A) either ratably among the Tranche B Lenders in proportion to their respective Tranche B Commitments; or (B) in the case of a termination of the Tranche B Commitment of a dissenting Tranche B Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(h), allocated solely to such Tranche B Lender; provided, that the Tranche B Commitment Amounts may not be reduced to an amount less than the Tranche B Loan Balance. The Agent shall give prompt notice to each Tranche B Lender of any termination or reduction of the Tranche B Commitments. Any termination of the Tranche B Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.3(e) is permanent and may not be revoked.
